Passed Memtest? How many times? If you mean it went through all tests once and passed, that doesn't mean much. Run test #5 twenty times and test #7 twenty times. Even then, it's not a guarantee. I see it supports the RAM, at least that designation. Unfortunately, we do not know if the same chips that were in the tested RAM, that MSI used, are in the RAM you purchased. Kingston, OCZ, and others have a habit of changing chip suppliers and NOT changing their RAM designations. Additionally, the memory controller is in the CPU, not the motherboard, therefore, the issue is between the CPU and the RAM. Are you using the same CPU that MSI used when testing the RAM.
Thank u that information is actually useful
My CPU is a PII AM3 BLack edition C3 Revision, Would anyone care to make A Ram Recommendation?
Gskill Ripjaw 1600 9,9,9,24 1.5 volt 2x2 Kit(dont have Model designation on hand) has EXACT same Problem

You mention stability problems. Which/What?
Set memory speed down MHz wise. In the test report, did you notice "DDR III 1600 OC"?
Im not trying to be a troll but how many of u actually bothered to read my whole post?

My problem is this I am constantly Hanging, and freezing but Never BSOD
(when browsing web, Watching a video or Playing games Only) = Freeze
System Specs are as follows
Memtest86+ boot Disk runs tests automatically on boot and Passed 20 tests No issues detected with Kingston ram
Failed the Gskill Ram by the fifth test..
If your not going to read the Post please dont Comment as its not constructive or helpful, as for the rest of u..
I appreciate the Input..

NF980-G65 ram problems

when i use GSKILL ram witch i have never had a problem. i use a receiver for all my signals video/audio. so if i ever have any thing happen. i can tell. what the receiver dose is act like the signal is looping every second. but there is never a video signal (just a TV no signal blue screen). that is what happens.
now the cause. i put in extra ram. being 4 GB more. same exact ram. 9-9-9-24
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Dual Channel Kit - Retail.
a total of 8 GB of ram, but when i did that happened. i take out the ram it was fine. so i thought ok well it could be the new ram. then put the new ram in. then it was fine so long as there was only 4 GB's in . when i put in one of the of the sticks (being 6 GB) 2 GB extra it just did nothing. the board works fine for im using it now to send this, but with 4 GB's of ram and there is an APP i need to use. and can't because it won't hold the extra ram. and when i get the ram working i know i will need a 64-bit windows. the app was using 71 to 82% of 4 GB's of ram. so i need to know if there is something in BIOS i need to set. or if i need different ram.

good info. i did not know most of that. some i did.
i will try 1333 Mhz. i will let you know on this post. if it works. how ever i know that 1066 dose work. the board info.
on the main site. says
Supports Dual DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600/1800/2133 (OC)
- 4 DDR3 DIMMs (240pin / 1.5V)
- Supports a maximum memory size up to 16GB.
i did see that and i check the MSI site. every time i buy a new board. oh and fast reply. im really glad to learn something.
It's down to the CPU[memory controller is build in there] not board.

With 2 sticks - full speed [1333, max. supported native speed by CPU],
with 4 sticks you probably will need to reduce the freq. with one level.[e.g 1066 like its current and works]

MOVED: 790GX-G65 // Ram Problem

This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=134422.0

When I put more than 1 (one) memory DIMM in the system it won't boot, either to bios or OS. Can I change the frequency prior to installing the other #2, #3, & #4 DIMM?
Also, I plan on keeping the XP 32 bit system. Yes, I was told the OS will only use 3.5 - 4 gb, but the software manufacturer said that the program would recognize and use the entire 8gb, is this not true?
Finally, it says dual channel, so on this MoBo, should I try slot 1 & 4, or 1 & 2 for a max of 4gb? Regardless, the system won't boot with more than 1 (one) DIMM installed.
Side problem. On a system scan & in bios it recognizes the 2nd harddrive 500gb Seagate, C:/ drive is recognized, but when I go to MyComputer it only shows 1 harddrive and 2 x optical drives, how do I get the 2nd harddrive recognized and assigned.

MOVED: NF980-G65 + PII X6

For some reason, it won't let me edit my own post now, but I fixed the problem!
Problem: Freezing/Restarting after POST/BIOS screens, with an unrecognized (PII X6) Processor.
My Solution: Replace the USB Keyboard with a PS/2 Keyboard.
Side-Effect: I'm not sure if it'll work with a USB Keyboard at all, now, so I'm doing tests.
[edit]:
After the BIOS successfully update, it's A-OK to use USB Keyboards again. /win! Installing Win7x64 right now =)

MOVED: 890GXM-G65 vcore problems

Here are my screenshots:
Im sorry but I made a mistake. Before I use the Control Center my Ram speed is around 1666 instead of 1706. I get 1706 after I up the Front Side Bus in Control Center to 256. Hope this didnt confuse any.
As far as the Hyper Transport speeds. I am getting as you can see in the mid 2500's. The Box and website show 2600. So is this a misprint because you would think that 2600 would be out of the box instead of an overclock?
My 12 volt rail is 70 amp. I am using the 850 watt Kingwin MK Power Power Supply.
And again another question that really hasnt been answered yet. If I can overclock on the software side of things (Control Center) should't I be able to overclock on the hardware side as in bios. For example I am getting 250 FSB on Bios, but I can only get up to 256 in Control Center. You would think that if it works in Control Center is should work in Bios. And this is a very Stable FSB too (after testing with 3dMark etc.)

Sounds like MSI is telling you to flash the BIOS anyway, and if that don't work, RMA the Mobo (afterall, you're just doing what they said). Figuring the time it takes for you to get the board shipped, them to get it, process the order, yadda yadda yadda, I'd say prolly a couple of weeks. Took 2 weeks to get my replacement N250GTS video card when I RMA'd it thru Newegg.
It took me only 5 days to get my motherboard back from RMA. Sent RMA request on Monday night, got RMA number Tuesday. Shipped it out on Thursday. And got it back by Tuesday. Of course, it helps that I am located within an hour or two drive of their RMA center.

MOVED: NF980-65..problem with getting memory above 1600

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139173.0

I've tried many configuration and I can only reach 940 MHz (DDR3 1880). You should try to raise the HTT(FSB) not the multiplier with memory devider 3:8 or 1:4, and try to find your maximum memory frequency and also try to reduce your processor frequency, HT Link and NB Frekuency.
Good Luck
Here's mine.

NF980-G65 Sli problem

During games..Like assassin creed II and FSX..My screen will start to jump and flicker some..With FSX its gets to the point its none stop..With Assassin Creed II..It will do it every now and again..But during windows,movies,internet..its fine..and even when I play Sims 3..It doesn't do that..I have reinstalled the video drivers..checked if its heat..Have tryed single card..Anyone have any clues..cause its got me stumped..and the video cards are GTX 250

Let MSI know about the bad bridges, there have been others recently with the same complaint and it seems they need to investigate the problem and if they don't know there's a problem then it won't get fixed.

The board is suppose to hit 2133 memory speed..Some people have hit 2000mhz and have it stable..I have no clue how they did it..I can't even get mine over 1666mhz..It all has to do with finding the right CPU-NB speed along with CPU speed and volt..With the right memory timing the CPU can handle..not the memory itself..I own gskill pis 2300mhz memory..lol...thinking when I got this board i'd be able to hit 2000mhz easy and then go upto 2133..WRONG..I have read reviews everywhere and have called MSI and Gksill tech..going over and over steps trying..and have even tested the memory making sure it was okay..and could do 2300mhz...and it passed with flying colors on a P55 board..That a computer store had..that tested it for me..So keep trying bro..and at one point you might figure something out..
X6 1090T 4.2ghz 1.501v
memory gksill pis 2300mhz only at 1666mhz 7-8-7-20 auto volt
CPU-NB and HT both at 2500mhz..CPU-NB 1.401v
FSB at 250
Since the memory controller is in the CPU itself... in order to reach speeds upwards of around 1750Mhz.. you must lower cpu core temp...2000Mhz clock speeds are possible at ~ -30*C to -35*C but are not that common.
Please check/reference hwbot.org for information regarding your motherboard+ram combination and clock speeds achieved. (All submitters are required to have a cpu-z link as well as multiple screen shots to show system info and settings)

Nf980-g65 SLI problem: severe image corruption

Recently built new system using 2 known good 8800GT video cards from previous setup (tested in other systems, in sli mode, they work fine)
amd phenom2 965
8gb ram
all drivers/bios up to date
System works fine with SLI disabled. Enabling SLI leads to severe problems, and has since was built in early january.
At first it was just a blue outline or shadow to everything.
Now the enture image is severely corrupted (black, flickering, image with pixel lines missing, etc).
Disable SLI again, and everything works fine.
Obviously I want to utilize SLI, as I bought this motherboard specifically so I could continue to utilize my existing (and future) nvidia SLI cards rather than have to replace them as well.
Reading around the net and testing of the cards leads me to suspect it is the SLI controller itself on the motherboard that is bad.

How can a board be sent out with 1.4 if it was manufactured when only 1.2 was available. You can't blame MSI for a retailer sending you older stock. Contact the retailer and have them flash it or use a supported CPU. If you don't have another MSI board or notebook with Windows installed(you'll need to download the bios to the other computer) where you can use the forum's utility to prepare a USB stick, >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< , then use one of the other methods in the sticky for flashing the bios under If you are unable to use the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flashing Tool, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0 .
We understand your frustration, but please calm down and let's try to help.
Thanks mike for posting this link ... once I get my board fixed and resent I will try this flasher. Thanks again for your help!

[split] nf980-g65 SLI problem: severe image corruption

I have this same issue in multiple games, the latest to show this issue was Dead Space 2 and Mass Effect 2
I have updated my drivers and even tested the vid card beta drivers. EVGA offers an SLI enhancement download that I have
attempted to use with no luck. I have not been able to find any thing that would fix this, I have even had
both of my cards RMA'd in an attempt to fix this issue. If there is anymore info you may need please let me know
but I want this issue repaired, the cards may not be the most expensive but to me 2 of them cost alot of money
and it is a waste to have them both in there without being able to use them properly.
Vid driver 270.61
bios 1.4

I do this as an amateur project, not as a business and do not have a business name or license, it is a enthusiastic hobby. either way if your going to post link to dead posts (your link went to a 404 error page) i can see where you are going, i am looking for help but only getting people making accusations and assumptions, I will deal with the techs directly instead of posting on the forums where it is normally a place for help but not in this case, I was just hoping that some of the actual techs roamed these in some situations trying to help but i can see i was sadly mistaken.
I apologize for the remarks Bas i know your trying to help but i need help and weather i am working on this for myself or for someone i built a system for this isnt my first time around. i have covered heat issues card issues power supply issues case issues and software, i have reinstalled win764 bit ult and it doesnt matter what game this is attempted on it is always an issue. disable sli and the game plays fine no matter what game. Deadspace 2, Dragons age origins, Mafia II, Mass Effect 2 Batman Arkham Asylum, Borderlands, Dungeons and Dragons Online. all have been tested pre reinstall and post all with the same issue. as i start playing the outer edges of the screen turn blueish and within a minute the game becomes unplayable due to the image coloration. I have not set the overclocking switches on this motherboard nor have i turned up any of the fsb settings, it is bone stock. I am tempted to believe that it is an issue on these boards but i would like to have someone with some working knowledge on this particular board that can help me with some of the settings or what the cause to this issue may be. thank you and sorry again just getting tired of accusations and no help

Msi nf980-g65 problem

Hey,
Last night I put my PC in to hibernate and went to sleep like normal. and this morning I went to turn on my PC.
and the monitor gets nothing.
My Mouse lights up. All my fans turn on.
But there is nothing going to my monitor. my 260GTX's nor on board gfx are having any output.
Ive tried everything listed. Moving ram around. moving the JBAT1 jumper took out the battery. Pressing DEL and later F1 during start up.
Nothing works.
Please help me :(
only 2/4 of the LEDs on the mobo light up.
At first 2 come on and 3rd flickers then it restarts. does this again. restarts. and final it just leaves 2 on.
and there is one short *beep*
